We switched to JDK 5 as of 2.4 (about 7 months ago).  I would guess
that most of those warnings were exposed as of JDK 5.  While we've
been accumulating them unknowingly since 2001, I'd say we've made
great strides toward eradicating them in the last six months.  You
should checkout the source code from the trunk if you intend to do any
development or just study the code.  I think you will agree that there
are far fewer issues such as the ones you;ve mentioned - though we
still have a ways to go!  So stay tuned.
